Hey guys! So in this story, Fionna is 17 and Marshall is 18 and they're both seniors in high school. Just wanted to make that clear. Enjoy!
Today was a nice day. Not too shabby, but not too awesome either. Just right to go spend another boring day inside a prison that also happened to be her school. Of course it wasn't a real prison but when has school ever felt like a vacation.
Fionna just sat there on her bed with her alarm still ringing, staring out the window, not really looking anywhere in particular, but thinking. Thinking about a boy. The boy that has been her best friend for so many years. The boy that she wanted more from in every way imaginable. She wouldn't admit it to anyone but she had a decent-sized crush on the boy. This boy was Marshall Lee. The well-known school badass that was simultaneously a major lady killer.
Marshall knew he made all the ladies go crazy but he wasn't just about to go dating all of them. No, he was waiting for someone else.
Fionna was still in her own world when her older sister, Cake, started yelling from down stairs.
"Babycakes, I'll drop you off at school but I won't be able to pick you back up 'cuz Mochro and I are going on that date he's been planning girl!"
"Today?" Fionna asked with a hint of whininess in her tone.
"Yeah baby! Sorry but he's taking me out somewhere special! He won't tell me where but I just know it's gonna be fabulous!" Cake squealed in excitement from downstairs.
"Oh okay.." she trailed off.
Fionna then almost literally rolled out of bed, stumbling over to her dresser to grab some close for the day. She walked back pass her bed and into her bathroom. As she set the clothes on the counter, she looked into the mirror. What she saw in there gave her mixed emotions.
In some ways, she loved her looks. She loved how golden and exceptionally lengthy her blonde hair is, and her crystal blue eyes that seemed to almost bore into peoples souls.
But then other things upset her. Fionna was never really fat, but with all the sports she does, she gained muscle that made her fell slightly overweight. Cake would always reassure her that she was perfect just the way she is and that there's nothing to worry about, but being the girl Fionna is, she never truly believed everything Cake said.
Fionna once again snapped out of her second daze of the day and hurriedly took a shower, got dressed, ate, and fixed her hair and makeup so she could walk out the door with Cake and not be late for school again.
Cake was already waiting downstairs by the door when Fionna came rushing down the stairs.
"You ready yet girl?" Cake asked
"Oh uh what? Yeah, hold up. Go start the car, I'll be right out."
"Kay babys, just hurry please."
Fionna finished packing up her two-tone, green backpack and practically sprinted out the door and into the car.
"Drive!" Fionna yelled as she slammed the door shut.
Cake and Fionna drove up to school a few minutes before class started and Fionna jumped out the car, but not running into class without saying bye to Cake and wishing her a happy date.
Fionna was thankful that her first period was close to the front doors of the school because a few seconds after she reached her seat, the bell rang. The teacher began taking roll like usual and Fionna listened intently, waiting for her name.
"Fionna Thoren?" called her teacher.
"Here." Fionna said lazily.
Her teacher then marked her present and continued with the list. She started to doze off again until one name caught her attention.
"Marshall Lee Abadeer"
Fionna only then noticed that her bestest friend in the whole entire school wasn't there. 'Wow' Fionna thought 'I feel like an awesome friend.' And then almost as if on cue to their teacher, Marshall walks through the door with a bored look on his face as he plainly says "Here." And walks to his seat next to Fionna, giving her his signature smirk that paints a light blush on Fionna's cheeks.
The beginning of the day went on like usual with Fionna having most of her classes with Marshall, except for third period when he has band and she has choir. When lunch came at the end of third period, Fionna wasn't in much of a hurry because the choir room was right next to the band room and she knew Marshall would wait for her right outside their classrooms.
Fionna walked out and as expected, Marshall was standing there waiting for her.
"Hey Fi, how has your day been?"
"Stupid" she replied in a sort of upset tone.
"Oh really?" Marshall asked, slightly amused with the blondes behavior. "And how so?"
"Well nothing exciting has happened today! It's just been class and work, the usual boring stuff, ya know? Where's all the fist fights and drama!"
He only chuckled a bit at her complaining and said "Well maybe everyone is just trying to be good seeming how today is the last day of school before spring break."
"Whoa whoa wait. Spring break? That's starting tomorrow?" Fionna asked surprised.
"Uh yeah. You do know it's Friday right?"
"Balls man, that's what cake was talking about this morning." She mumbled, more to herself than Marshall.
"What was she talking about?" Marshall asked, genuinely curious.
"Well she and Mochro have been planning this week long date-vacation sort of thing over spring break and this morning she told me she wouldn't be able to pick me up after school because she was going on a date with him but I didn't really realize it was spring break already and that she meant that date." Fionna explained. "Now I'm gonna be all alone…" she trailed off.
Marshall lit up at the last part of her speech. "You could stay at my house for the week." He suggested.
Fionna looked up at him with hope and relief in her eyes. "Really? You would really do that for me?"
"Of course, I would do anything for you, Fi" Marshall answered in a matter of fact tone that one again made Fionna blush.
"Thanks Marsh."
"No problem."
The rest of the school day flew by quickly, mainly because the teachers let everyone do what they want because break was starting soon, but also because Fionna was excited to be hanging out at the boy-she-has-been-crushing-on's house for an entire week. The best part is that she knew he lives by himself.
When the final bell rang, everyone in class cheered and practically ran out of the classroom. Well, everyone except Marshall Lee and Fionna. They walked out together and straight into the student parking lot. Even though they were all seniors, only a few of the students had cars that they drove to school so the parking lot was pretty empty.
"Just wait here Fi, I'll bring her around and then you can get on." Marshall said as he walked away into the sea of cars. Fionna silently waited there on the curb thinking about what Marshall said 'Get on? Doesn't he mean in?' In the midst of her thoughts, an engine roared to life, breaking Fionna away from her thinking. Then, Marshal cruised around the corner of the parking lot on an incredible motorcycle. I was almost completely black except for the metal that was the pipes, engine, and rims and it looked like it packed A LOT of power. Marshall was smirking at the surprised look on her face. Fionna didn't understand why or how it did, but that bike made Marshall look so much hotter than she could've even imagined.
"You like?" Marshall asked as he drove up next to the curb, right where Fionna was standing.
"When did you get this!?" She asked, surprise evident in her voice.
"Fi," Marshall started, giving her that 'are you serious' look, "I've had this bike for years. You've seen it at my house and I've talked about it on multiple occasions…"
Fionna started thinking and then realized that he has had it for a while, she's just never seen him actually riding it before. "Oh yeah, I guess you're right."
"When am I ever wrong?" He asked with a cocky grin plastered on his face.
"All the time!" Fionna yelled playfully. "I guess I've just never seen you actually on it before so that's why I didn't recognize it." She said in a quieter voice, blush once again covering her cheeks.
"Well are you gonna get on or not?" He asked, somewhat laughing at the same time.
"I don't know! I've never ridden on a motorcycle before and I don't know what to do!"
Marshall chuckled at her confusion and tried to explain the simplicity of it to her. "Just swing your leg over and sit down behind me."
Fionna hesitated but then obliged and did exactly what he told her to do.
"Here." Marshall said, handing her a black helmet. She slipped it on over her golden locks and secured her arms around his waist. "Hold on tight."
The next thing she knew, Fionna and Marshall were flying past cars and students, everything a blur.
It didn't take long until they got to Fionna's house. It was small, wooden, and placed in the middle of a forest which ended up earning it the nickname of 'The Tree house'.
"Wait here, I'll be right back!" Fionna said as she slipped off the helmet and ran towards her house.
When she got inside she started packing everything she thought she would ever need for a week, all into her green school backpack. She packed the usual over-night stuff like her tooth brush, tooth paste, hair brush, and extra clothes, but this time she packed a lot more than you would for just over-night. When she thought she had packed everything she needed, she ran back out to Marshall, not forgetting to lock the front door on her way out.
"Geesh," Marshall said smirking "Why don't we just bring the rest of the house too!"
Fionna only glared at him before putting her helmet back on. "It could've been worse. Trust me; this is packing light for a girl."
Once again, Marshall and Fionna were speeding down the streets, straight towards Marshall's house, which really wasn't that far away.
When they drove into his drive way, he let Fionna get off first and then drove it into the garage to park it.
While Marshall was doing that Fionna walked inside, admiring the dark colors that themed his house.
Marshall walked in while Fionna was still looking around. She's been here before so many times, but for some reason, every time she comes over, she gets mesmerized by his house. He doesn't really understand why because she's not really a dark person but he just rolls with it.
Marshall decided to break the silence, "So Fi, let's get you settled in!"
So yeah, nothing really exciting, just filling, but it's good to get everything laid out so it makes sense later I guess. Anyways, review and junk if you wants. Thanks!
